This is not a tour, it’s a 100% scam. DO NOT BOOK!! Tangol is a fake agency. They just steal the money and fake the tour. ALSO, THERE IS NO BOAT RIDE!! Scamming International tourists!!
First morning nobody showed up. After I called a provided number they told me there is no English guide for the tour and this tour does not happen in English. I asked to cancel and refund our 150eur. Then they called back and said they will provide an Eng speaking guide free if charge? Rember, this tour is already 55eur/person!! They also inform that pickup will be 7:30 and not 8:30 due to traffic. Guess what- there was no traffic. But I had to pay extra for breakfast and miss my hotel breakfast.
After 2h in a crazy bouncy old van we arrived in some dirty construction place to park. The guide told us THERE IS NO BOAT RIDE!! And we have to stay on Forno Beach for 3 and a half hours. More expenses for the beach chairs, umbrella and drinks. Also, the guide did not even know how to get to the beach and made us climb a mountain cliff in the wrong direction. Also, no wifi or signal on the beach, so could not call agency. Guide also spoke like 30 words in English.
After the beach we were taken to lunch wich was the only quality thing on this FAKE BOAT TOUR. After, we were dropped off at Cabo Frio beach. Guide told us to meet in the spot after 25min. We arrived BUT THE GUIDE WAS LATE EXTRA 20MIN while we stood in open sun and wind and waited. The only English tour story was at Cabo Frio, one sentence- We pass old city, this is where this city began. And another 2h back to Buzios in the bumpy van. If you take Uber, this tour will cost you 80$R from Buzios and and another 80-120$R for return. Plus you can choose where you eat food. So, Tangol RUINED 2 DAYS OF VACATION AND STOLE ABOUT 80% TOUR MONEY/ACTUAL VALUE. AND THERE IS NO BOAT. SCAM! SCAM!! SCAM!
